		<title>A Brand New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Mormons have a new website for teenagers. While aimed at Mormon teens, there are aspects of it that will appeal to teens of any faith. The website is called A Brand New Year and is designed to help teenagers make this a really great year where they commit themselves to the Lord.
The button labeled “Read” takes you to material from the New Era, a shiny magazine just for teenagers. You can subscribe to it, but it’s also free on the Internet. A story is featured each month on this part of the website, and there is a link to the archives, where you can read more. This magazine is about ordinary teenagers, as well as those who are Mormon and famous, but it’s primary purpose is to help teens as they learn to be more Christ-like in an increasingly challenging world.
A major stage production was produced to launch the website and the new year, and by clicking the Watch button, you can take a peek at the rehearsals, watch what happened backstage, and see pictures of each of the performances.
Then watch the show. You can watch it in segments, allowing you to see it as you have time. It’s a mixture of music and thoughts by teenagers, who talk about things Mormon youth have done throughout the previous years—which can give you ideas for things you can do yourself—and also help them make great plans for the coming year. If you like the music, you can download the MP3s at no charge, and even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teens: Find the Spirit in Quiet Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a defining moment in our recent Sunday School class. We had been talking about the need and value of repentance, of the happiness it can bring to those who come back to the light and love of Christ, of the need to let go of the things of this world, when a woman raised her hand.
&#8220;I have a sister who turned away from the gospel years ago,&#8221; she began. &#8220;She lives her life in a way she was not taught growing up, and makes choices that go against many of Christ&#8217;s teachings.&#8221;
I began to wonder precisely where this conversation was going, and could feel the intensity of this woman&#8217;s need to be given a firm answer.
&#8220;She has more money than I could ever dream of. She&#8217;s traveled all over, she has had opportunities opened up for her left and right. I can&#8217;t see that she&#8217;s not happy.&#8221;
This woman paused for a moment, gathering herself. &#8220;My husband and I barely get by. We sometimes wonder where money will come from to pay the bills. I hardly see him for all the hours he works, and so much of the time I&#8217;m miserable.&#8221;
Before I go to the answer our teacher gave, I want you to take a moment to think of your own life. Which of these two women do you relate to more? Do you spend much of your time doing everything, obtaining objects, living life to it&#8217;s fullest?
Or do you find yourself spending much of your time watching others have everything, others who [...]]]></description>
